Chapter 1 Stern Conditions

Shi Feng's proposed conditions could be called nothing short of harsh.

Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing them, his expression turning grave as he stood there, at a loss.

If Shi Feng only wanted a small share of Bei Dou, Xiao Yan could approve it himself, even the chairman would be delighted. However, becoming a member of the board of directors was a completely different matter.

Such a thing was beyond Xiao Yan’s authority.

The management of Bei Dou rested entirely with the board of directors, which could be said to be the absolute center of power, how could they allow outsiders to enter so easily?

Furthermore, Shi Feng demanded the establishment of a training area completely under his control, which was equivalent to separating a part of Bei Dou, an even more unacceptable proposition.

If Shi Feng were a renowned martial arts master, such a thing might actually be agreed to, but Shi Feng was unknown and unheard of, making such an agreement virtually impossible.

Zhao Ruoxi was also stunned, her beautiful eyes constantly scrutinizing Shi Feng.

“Is this really Shi Feng from our class?” This question echoed repeatedly in Zhao Ruoxi's mind.

Shi Feng was practically making a grab for the sky, even more greedy than she was.

The title of chief instructor was just a formality, with no actual work required, a very leisurely position of extremely high status, coveted by countless people. Even well-known fighters in Jin Hai City wanted to obtain this position, but unfortunately, they were not within Bei Dou's considerations. Yet, Shi Feng was asking for conditions like this, which Zhao Ruoxi simply couldn't comprehend.

In Zhao Ruoxi's opinion, Shi Feng was going too far, but for some reason, she felt that there was a reason for Shi Feng’s actions, because Shi Feng was not an unreasonable person.

Just as Zhao Ruoxi thought, Shi Feng was not being unreasonable. There was a reason for saying so, or rather, the conditions he proposed were already very low. If it weren't for Zhao Ruoxi's sake, he might have asked for more, instead of just a board member and a training area completely under his management.

Although the Zero Wing Guild was only powerful in White River City at present, after the battle for White River City, the Zero Wing Guild had become famous throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom. Furthermore, the Zero Wing Guild had already laid a solid foundation and obtained the ticket to compete for supremacy in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Perhaps only the higher-ups of first-rate guilds knew what this meant.

The entire Star-Moon Kingdom had hundreds of millions of players, and that number was constantly increasing. Jin Hai City only had several hundred thousand people, its scale was only at the level of White River City, so what was the difference between Zero Wing's control in White River City and Bei Dou's control in Jin Hai City?

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as the difference between heaven and earth.

Moreover, with the popularity of God's Domain and the power of Zero Wing Guild, the number of people that could be influenced would be terrifying, easily bringing unimaginable wealth to training halls or fitness centers.

And what about training halls and fitness centers?

To put it bluntly, they were just places to exercise, where did they get any influence?

With a single word from any first-rate guild, a fitness center could rise in minutes, wouldn't it be better to build one themselves, why would they need to share the profits with others?

“I wonder what Manager Xiao’s opinion is?” Shi Feng asked, looking at Xiao Yan.

“Mr. Shi, the conditions you’ve proposed are truly a bit harsh, how about changing it to 5% of Bei Dou’s shares?” Xiao Yan could tell that Shi Feng was not ignorant, he should know the value of an An Jin (internal strength) expert, so after thinking about it, he offered the most generous treatment he could offer.

“Bei Dou is a big enterprise, it’s good to have 5% of the shares, but I still insist on the conditions I proposed earlier, it can also be said that this is my bottom line, if you can't agree, then it's a pity.” Shi Feng shook his head.

“This… Mr. Shi, the conditions you’ve proposed are beyond what I, as a manager, can decide. How about you give me some time to report to the higher-ups, and after they’ve discussed it, I’ll give you an answer, what do you think?” Xiao Yan was frightened by Shi Feng’s calm attitude. He originally thought that offering the position of Bei Dou’s chief instructor and 5% of the shares would definitely make a young man who had just started out ecstatic, but the result greatly exceeded his expectations.

He couldn't believe that Shi Feng was just a college student. 5% of Bei Dou’s shares was a large sum of money, enough to live a carefree life, but Shi Feng still made such demands, either he was crazy or he was confident and had absolute certainty.

“Of course, I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait for your reply.” Shi Feng smiled, he never thought of getting the training of Zero Wing members done in a short period of time. He still had many things to do in God's Domain, and the studio had just started operating, all of which required time to settle down and digest.

Today was just a chat.

However, he was grateful to Zhao Ruoxi, otherwise, it would have taken a lot of time to contact these high-level managers of Bei Dou. The current progress had exceeded Shi Feng’s expectations.

Afterward, Xiao Yan asked Shi Feng about some martial arts matters, while Zhao Ruoxi was not interested in this, but seeing Xiao Yan asking Shi Feng like a junior, she felt very amused. If she told her father about this, he would probably be shocked.

After two or three hours of long conversation, Xiao Yan became more and more admiring of Shi Feng. If it wasn’t already late and Shi Feng had to go back, Xiao Yan would have wanted to talk for three days and three nights.

After Shi Feng left Bei Dou, Zhao Ruoxi drove Shi Feng back to his current rented apartment.

At the same time, Xiao Yan immediately contacted Bei Dou’s chairman, who was also his elder brother, Xiao Yu, to prepare for a detailed discussion of the conditions proposed by Shi Feng.

As the sun set, a bright red luxury sports car parked in front of the apartment building in Shi Feng's residential complex.

“Shi Feng, you must keep these three bottles of S-grade nutrient potions safe. S-grade nutrient potions are different from other potions, they must be stored in an environment below 0 degrees Celsius, otherwise, their effect will gradually weaken. After two or three days, they will have no effect at all. In addition, S-grade nutrient potions can only be drunk once every 5 days, drinking too much is bad for your body, you must remember this.” Zhao Ruoxi carefully handed the metal suitcase containing the S-grade nutrient potions to Shi Feng, repeatedly reminding him, worried that Shi Feng, who had never used S-grade nutrient potions before, would waste and misuse them.

One million credits was a small matter, but S-grade nutrient potions were not something that could be bought with money. It would be difficult to get them again in the future. Bei Dou was only able to buy a few bottles with great difficulty because they had some channels.

“Yeah, I know.” Shi Feng smiled bitterly helplessly, he wasn't using S-grade nutrient potions for the first time, it was just that Zhao Ruoxi didn't know.

“Then I’m leaving. Don’t forget my birthday party next month. I know where you live now. If you dare not come, I won’t let you off easily.” Zhao Ruoxi waved her small fist in front of the car window, and then drove the red hover car away from the complex.

Only then did Shi Feng realize that Zhao Ruoxi had sent him back for this reason. Although he was usually late, he wasn’t that unreliable, right…

Just as Shi Feng turned to enter the apartment building, he suddenly noticed a person squatting at the entrance of the apartment building, looking at him with a wretched smile on his face.

That person was Hei Zi.

“Brother Feng, you’re too awesome. You’ve hooked up with Class Monitor Zhao in just a few days. Why didn’t I notice it before? You have to teach me, otherwise, I’ll tell Sister Huowu.” Hei Zi looked at Shi Feng and smiled meaningfully.

“Tch, don’t think I don’t know, you haven’t been going after the beauties in the guild any less, tell me, what are you doing here?” Shi Feng rolled his eyes at Hei Zi. Although Hei Zi had restrained himself a lot after joining the Zero Wing Workshop, it was hard to change one's nature, and he was getting closer and closer to a female mage in the guild.

“Okay, I admit, I do have a major matter to report to you in person. Don’t get too excited after you hear it.” Hei Zi looked at Shi Feng and cleared his throat excitedly before announcing happily, “Just an hour ago, Tianji Pavilion released a new Wind and Cloud Expert List, and Brother Feng, your ID name is on it, the entire Star-Moon Kingdom is going crazy now.”
